Vladimir Janda – Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes – Developmental Milestones

This discussion begins with references to the Upper- and Lower-Crossed Syndromes, and weaves its way through coaching, competitive sports and clinical patient treatment.

“The first intervention we make is to optimize the CNS. We do that by making sure the skeletal system is aligned so the central nervous system is getting appropriate information. Many people miss that. They see your bad deep squat and assume something is stiff to make you perform badly, but maybe you’re performing badly because you can’t feel what your ankles would be telling you if they were mobile. I don’t just look at the body biomechanically. I think: How many kinks do we have in the hose?” ~Gray Cook

“Your focus on being efficient and reigning yourself in is so important because people are going crazy with corrective exercises. The key is the assessment. We can find the key link with which we can identify the efficient solution. We need to hold ourselves to the bar you’re recommending, which is a day one change. We have scientific studies that show within a session, day one changes actually predict the future. They predict between a session day two, three and four change.” ~Craig Liebenson
